Segmented Memory Acquisition  
for Agilent InfiniiVision Series  
Oscilloscopes  
Data Sheet  
Capture more signal detail with  
less memory using segmented  
memory acquisition  
Features:  
• Optimized acquisition memory  
• Capture up to 2000 successive  
waveform segments  
• Fast re-arm time  
• Down to 250 ps time-tag resolution  
• Segments include all analog and digital  
channels of acquisition  
• Segments include serial bus decoding  
Introduction  
If the signals that you need to capture  
have relatively long idle times between  
low-duty-cycle pulses or bursts of  
signal activity, then the segmented  
memory option for Agilent’s  
Even in applications that don’t  
actually require segmented memory  
acquisition to optimize memory, using  
segmented memory acquisition on  
Agilent’s InfiniiVision oscilloscopes  
can enhance post-analysis navigation  
through low-duty-cycle signals, burst  
signals, and serially packetized signals.  
And Agilent’s InfiniiVision Series  
oscilloscopes are the only scopes  
in the industry that not only provide  
segmented memory acquisitions  
simultaneously on all analog channels  
(up to four analog channels) and logic  
channels (up to 16 digital channels)  
of acquisition, but they also are the  
only scopes that provide hardware-  
based serial decoding on packetized  
serial data for each captured waveform  
segment.  
InfiniiVision Series oscilloscopes can  
optimize your scope’s acquisition  
memory, allowing you to capture  
more selective signal details with less  
memory. With segmented memory,  
the scope’s acquisition memory  
(up to 8 M points) is divided into  
multiple smaller memory segments.  
This enables your scope to capture  
up to 2000 successive single-shot  
waveforms with a very fast re-arm  
time — without missing any important  
signal information.  
After a segmented memory acquisition  
is performed, you can easily view  
all captured waveforms overlaid in  
an infinite-persistence display and  
quickly scroll through each individual  
waveform segment. And with a  
minimum 250 picosecond time-tagging  
resolution, you will know the precise  
time between each captured waveform  
segment. Common applications for this  
type of oscilloscope acquisition include  
high-energy physics measurements,  
laser pulse measurements, radar burst  
measurements, and packetized serial  
bus measurements.  
2
High-energy physics and laser pulse applications  
Segmented memory acquisition  
in an oscilloscope is commonly  
used for capturing electrical pulses  
generated by high-energy physics  
(HEP) experiments, such as capturing  
and analyzing laser pulses. With  
segmented memory acquisition,  
the scope is able to capture every  
consecutive laser pulse (up to a  
maximum of 2000 pulses), even if the  
pulses are widely separated.  
Figure 1 shows the capture of 300  
successive laser pulses with a pulse  
separation time of approximately 12  
µs and an approximate pulse width  
of 3.3 ns. All 300 captured pulses are  
displayed in the infinite-persistence  
gray color, while the current selected  
segment is shown in the channel’s  
assigned color (yellow for channel 1).  
Figure 1: Segmented memory acquisition captures 300 consecutive laser  
Note that the 300th captured pulse  
occurred exactly 3.62352380 ms after  
the first captured pulse, as indicated  
by the segment time-tag shown in the  
lower left-hand region of the scope’s  
display. With the scope sampling  
at 4 GSa/s, capturing this amount  
of time would require more than 14  
Megapoints of conventional acquisition  
memory. If these laser pulses were  
separated by 12 ms, the amount of  
conventional acquisition memory to  
capture nearly 4 seconds of continuous  
acquisition time would be more than  
14 Gigapoints. Unfortunately, there  
are no oscilloscopes on the market  
today that have this much acquisition  
memory. But since segmented memory  
only captures a small and selective  
segment of time around each pulse  
while shutting down the scope’s  
digitizers during signal idle time,  
pulses for analysis.  
A similar high-energy physics  
application involves the measurement  
of energy and pulse shapes of signals  
generated from subatomic particles  
flying around an accelerator ring  
(particle physics). Assuming that  
sub-atomic particles have been slung  
around a 3-km accelerator ring at a  
speed approaching the speed of light  
(299,792,458 meters/sec), electrical  
pulses generated at a single detector  
at one location along the 3-km ring  
would occur approximately every  
10 µs. With segmented memory, you  
can easily capture, compare and  
analyze successive pulses generated  
by the subatomic particles with precise  
time-tagging.  
Agilent’s InfiniiVision scopes can  
easily capture this much information  
using just 8 Megapoints of memory.  
3
Radar and sonar burst applications  
Engineers often require  
segmented memory acquisition  
mode in an oscilloscope when  
they measure radar and/or  
sonar bursts. Figure 2 shows  
an example where we captured  
725 consecutive 50-MHz RF  
burst signals using an Agilent  
InfiniiVision scope’s segmented  
memory acquisition mode.  
Engineers often need to compare  
sent and received signals and  
compare signal degradation from  
echo signals. These types of RF  
burst applications also require  
precise time-tagging in order to  
accurately compute distances.  
Distance and time between  
bursts can often be very long, for  
example, when you are analyzing  
satellite communications. If a  
satellite is located 100 miles  
in space away from an Earth  
transmitter/receiver station,  
a radar echo time (more than  
200 miles round trip) would be  
approximately 1.07 ms. Using  
the 50-MHz RF burst shown in  
Figure 2, you could easily capture  
725 consecutive bursts separated  
by 1.07 ms using segmented  
memory. Capturing this much  
time (775 ms) using conventional  
oscilloscope acquisition at 1  
GSa/s would require nearly  
1 Gigapoints of acquisition  
Figure 2: Capturing consecutive RF bursts with precise time-tagging using  
segmented memory  
memory. But with the segmented  
memory option in Agilent’s  
InfiniiVision Series oscilloscopes,  
capturing this amount of signal  
data can be accomplished with  
just 8 Mega points of acquisition  
memory.  
4
Mixed-signal and serial bus applications  
Serial bus measurements are another  
application area where segmented  
memory acquisition is useful. You can  
optimize the number of packetized  
serial communication frames that  
can be captured consecutively by  
selectively ignoring (not digitizing)  
unimportant idle time between frames.  
As mentioned earlier, Agilent’ s  
InfiniiVision Series oscilloscopes are  
the only scopes on the market today  
that not only can acquire segments  
of up to four analog channels of  
acquisition, but also can capture  
time-correlated segments on digital  
channels of acquisition (using an MSO  
model), along with hardware-based  
serial bus protocol decoding. The  
segmented memory option on Agilent’s  
InfiniiVision Series oscilloscopes is  
compatible with all of the following  
Figure 3: Capturing 1000 consecutive decoded CAN frames using  
segmented memory.  
serial bus triggering and decoding  
options:  
I2C/SPI (N5423A or Option LSS)  
• RS-232/UART (N5457 or Option 232)  
• CAN/LIN (N5424A or Option AMS)  
1000 consecutive CAN frames for a  
total acquisition time of 2.4 seconds.  
After acquiring the 1000 segments/  
CAN frames, we can easily scroll  
through all frames individually to look  
for any anomalies or errors. In addition,  
we can easily make latency timing  
measurements between frames using  
the segmented memory’s time-tagging.  
Also note that in this measurement  
example, eight time-correlated digital  
channels were acquired along with the  
analog CAN signal and decoding.  
To illustrate how segmented memory  
acquisition can enhance serial bus  
measurements, we will examine a  
mixed-signal automotive CAN bus  
measurement application. Figure 3  
shows a CAN bus measurement with  
the scope set up to trigger on every  
start-of-frame (SOF) condition. Using  
this triggering condition with the  
segmented memory acquisition mode  
turned on, the scope easily captures  
5
Mixed-signal and serial bus applications  
Figures 4a and 4b show examples  
of capturing 1000 consecutive  
remote frames and data frames with  
the ID code of 07F . This was  
HEX  
accomplished by setting the trigger  
condition to trigger on either remote  
or data frames with this specific frame  
ID. Now we can easily measure the  
timing latency between each remote  
transfer request frame with a frame  
ID of 07F  
and its associated data  
HEX  
frame response with the same frame  
ID. In this measurement example, the  
latency between segment #1 (remote  
frame) and segment #2 (data frame)  
was 4.821 ms. Also note that although  
not shown, the time-tag on the last  
captured segment (segment #1000)  
was approximately 9.5 seconds.  
Capturing this much time using  
conventional oscilloscope acquisition  
memory at this sample rate (~4 MSa/  
s) would require 38 Megapoints of  
memory.  
Figure 4a: Remote frame 07FHEX captured as segment #1 has a  
default time-tag of 0.0 s.  
Figure 4b: Data frame 07FHEX captured as segment #2 indicates a  
timing latency of 4.822 ms.  
6
Mixed-signal and serial bus applications (continued)  
While scrolling through the various  
segments/frames, we could see  
that error frames were occurring  
randomly. So the next step in this  
CAN measurement application was to  
capture and store only error frames.  
To do this, we set up the scope’s  
triggering to trigger specifically on  
any occurrence of any error frame,  
regardless of its ID code. Figure 5  
shows how the segmented memory  
acquisition mode captured 500  
consecutive error frames with a  
total capture time (time-tag of the  
segment #500) of more than 60  
seconds. Capturing this many frames  
at this sample rate (~9 MSa/s) using  
conventional oscilloscope memory  
would require more than 0.5 Gigabyte  
of acquisition memory. But with  
the segmented memory option, our  
InfiniiVision oscilloscope was able  
to capture more than 60 seconds  
of selective signal detail using its 8  
Megapoints of memory  
Figure 5: Segmented memory captures 500 consecutive CAN  
frames over a 60-second time span.  
Once we have captured consecutive  
CAN error frames, we can easily dial  
through all of the individual frames  
to discover why these errors might  
be occurring. In this measurement  
example, we can see that segment  
#471 was an error frame with a data  
frame ID code of 07FHEX. After close  
inspection of the analog waveform  
associated with this decoded frame,  
we can now see why the error frame  
occurred. Note the narrow glitch near  
the end of this frame.
